I tried the alter command below in impala-shell 2.12.0 and kudu 1.7.0. However, I'm getting an error. My table is an external table in impala.   The error message is strange. Of course the new table doesn't exists, I want to create it with the command...   ALTER TABLE res_dhcp_int SET TBLPROPERTIES('kudu.table_name'='res_dhcp_int'); Query: ALTER TABLE res_dhcp_int SET TBLPROPERTIES('kudu.table_name'='res_dhcp_int') ERROR: TableLoadingException: Error loading metadata for Kudu table res_dhcp_int CAUSED BY: ImpalaRuntimeException: Error opening Kudu table 'res_dhcp_int', Kudu error: The table does not exist: table_name: "res_dhcp_int"   is this a bug?    EDIT: i just read IMPALA-5654, seems that with impala 2.12.0 this alter command doesn't work anymore! I need an alternative for that 😞 ... View more
